This webinar went into detail about the apps Scratch Jr. and PBS Scratch Jr. - these are both apps used to help introduce and teach children how to code. PBS Scratch Jr. uses the characters from PBS that children are already familiar with and it is only available for iPad and android tablets. Scratch Jr. on the other hand, is available for amazon fire and chrome books as well. Shelly Fryer, the leader of the webinar, said that you should teach coding because it is engaging for students while they learn and have fun. This app allows them to create their own games and characters rather than just following coding steps and working through different levels; the students become the creators and are allowed to use their imaginations to create complex games and characters. This webinar was cool because we got to see examples of Sherry's own students in her coding club, and we got to see how they each navigated through the app differently.
